The O'Jays - Stairway To Heaven

The O'Jays - Stairway To Heaven

The O'Jays put their entire souls in this song................

A classic of great masters with voices such a beautiful song indeed.

I remember this song when life was so so so sweet..when my grandma and grandpa would dance while smiling at each other...Lawd only knows what he was whispering to her..I remember the po-ke-no games, the collard greens, fried chicken, and potato salad I remember grandpa loving his seagrams v.o and ginger ale..I remember Mr and Mrs. House, Wooten, Noble and Burton, (that's when folks believed in getting married & kids stayed out of grown-up conversations) they would all gather at my grand ma & pa's for that Saturday night party..Life was good and songs like this take you back to those memories with a smile on your face and a song in your heart...way to go O'Jay's !!!! :)

For The Love Of Money - O'Jays

For the love of money - O'Jays Full Version
"Don't let money change you!"
Lyrics:Money money money money, money (x6)
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, yall

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, don't let money change you,
it will keep on changing, changing up your mind.
